How to upload a new add-in
When an add-in project is built, an opdashboardAddin file is created, containing the add-in and any dependencies. This file is then uploaded to ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. From this online reference, an operation view author can add widgets, map tools and feature actions contained in the add-in to an operation view.
To upload an add-in:
- Open the ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS home page and log in.
Tip:If the add-in is uploaded using the same account used to author the operation view, sharing the add-in with the same users as the operation view will be simpler.
- Open My Content and
tap or click the Add Item
button.
The Add Item window appears.
- Choose On my Computer from the The item is options.
- Tap or click the Choose File
button and choose the opdashboardAddin file on your computer.
The title will automatically be filled in.
- Type tags. Alternatively, you can click the Choose from your tags link to open the
list of tags you've used previously and choose the tags you want to
use for this item.
Tags are words or short phrases that describe your item. Separate terms with commas.
- Click the Add Item button.
Once the add-in is uploaded, it can then be downloaded to the local cache by using the Manage Add-Ins dialog box, and widgets, map tools and feature actions contained in the add-in can be added to an operation view.
Updates to the add-in will also be automatically downloaded when a user opens the operation view.
